23 Runeword Search Thread

Ikeren: ok thanks, must have missed that one; damn and i thought i could tell you something new

manuelm; mmaketsu: i am too on europe

i guess we are still too few for some serious hellforge runerushing
maybe we could join for some cowruns, but i need to create a lightning ama for that

but maybe some will join. My playing times are around 2000-2400 pm cet
accounts are: *crvsader & *crvsader1
 
hey the forums are back up! :thumbsup: hehe ok ok. serious face on and back to investigating :spy:

the HelLo cap (hehe one of the 2 i hoped for, Hello, Chamber) seems a bit odd to me. although it does look weird but real, i might wanna point out what someone said before me. the defense is 10, which is high considering it's a superior cap. and if it was superior, wouldn't if have shown the +% enhanced defense or +max durability or something of some sort? not trying to say straightforward that is it fake, but i am taking in consideration about the indestructable mod. maybe blizz changed the poison mod to indestructable mod? :scratch:
 
Good point about the superior cap not having +defense or durability on it. I guess it was probably made in a mod version of d2 were superior items can be indestructable? Any modders know of a version like this?
 
Hi am in Europe sever as well. account is *yhenon
I have a sorc that can take on the countess and maybe cows. Id be happy to help. Btw I noticed something strange today : i went to the hc channel and noticed the strange way it was written : "lOd HArDcoRE eurOpe-1"
Is this normal ? Can it be a clue ? I took screenshots to prove.
 
Morning, all.

Updated: wathombe's runeword spreadsheet

I'll be posting a new weekly update thread shortly, even though last week's hasn't fallen off the page yet owing to the site outage.

My Shock Zealot is up to 71, and should be able to handle Hell Countess soon (finally). My playing time has been scarce lately, and will be until after Labor Day with the 'rents in town.

In the meantime, I am going to focus on:

1) 2os helms; and

2) RalIth and IthRal recipes.

When we were screwing around with acronyms last week, we realized that one of Kenny-Z's answers, HRATLI, can be acronymmed (is that a verb?) into RalIth or IthRal. Relatively cheap, and would be an obvious solution to that clue. Thus far, we have only tested RalIth in armor and helm and only tested IthRal in armor. I can run NM countess relatively fast, and she drops both those runes frequently, so I hope to get in 20-40 runs a night to test all 29 remaining combos. I may even do a few quick normal runs with a friend for the normal forge and Qual-Kehk quest (Ral Ort Tal).

Responses:

YellowDye:

Welcome! Not many have the stamina to read the whole thread, so you get a ribbon. Zephyrus has been trying to find people for expansion forge rushes, but I haven't seen him since the weekend. Dawns-requiem is working on a classic forge rusher so we can skip the ancients until we get characters to hell, then convert to expansion for the forge quests. Stay tuned for more info.

ToughE:

Great, thanks. I've added you to the players list on the spreadsheet.

mmaketsu, manuelm, crusader:

maketsu, thanks for all the tests. They're logged in the updated ss. And all three of you, it's great to have a core Europe group going. I've added two of your account names to the list on the ss. manuelm, what's your acct on realms?

916_andy:

Oh, I thought you had socketed that cap yourself on ladder! If not, and someone you don't know showed you the pic, I would assume it's modded. Otherwise it just doesn't make sense...

It just means that the first person in the channel decided to change the caps on it. Anyone who is creating a "new" channel can do so. I seriously doubt it was a Blizzard employee.
 
Hey

Just wanted to let everyone know I will be on for awhile today. Talascoma US EAST. Id be willing to do some cow runs, but my stupid shadow master killed my cow king, so I cant create cow games. Also, I am in Act 4 hell where everything is either fire immune or lightening immune and need some help. I need to get to that forge, lol. Anyway, just let me know.
 
I have been contacted by a player on Europe who has tested 15 of the high-end 1.07 runewords. He/she wishes to remain anonymous because he/she tested using a "legit" rollback glitch which he/she would prefer not to make public. Suffice it to say that these tests were not done using dupes and were not done using a method which could ever produce dupes. I am reasonably convinced that these tests are accurate. Nevertheless, I will denote these results as "tested on Europe with rollback" in the spreadsheet.

Tested:

Glory - MalFalTalEld - flail

Tempest - EthEldRalIst - flail

Terror - IstIthFalEl - flail

War - GulAmnNefTirNef - flail

Sorrow - TirNefShaelGulNef - flail

Nightfall - RalIthGulAmn - flail

Morning Dew - ElVexTir - paladin shield

Destiny's Daughter - NefVexEl - bone visage

Praise - VexEth - scepter (too bad; clever spelling, that one)

Madness - GulOhm - helm

Purity - TirAmnOhmOrtKo - flail

Piety - ElBerEth - scepter (there go the Tolkein theories)

Edge - BerOrt - sword

Spirit - MalElElBerShael - flail

Lawbringer - UmLemBer - crystal sword

All failed.

Assuming these tests are reliable, this leaves 34 1.07 recipes untested by my count, plus a few retests we need to do. Twelve more tests, and we can probably toss the whole damn 1.07 list. :grrr:
 
the Hratli thing is interesting. i can help reasearch that if ya want wathombe. about that list from the europe player.. are you sure you think it's pretty accurate? a lot of those have very expensive runes like ist and ohm and vex etc.. have you seen it in a game to prove it? if so then yeah we should pitch the list after a few more trials of the last few runewords :grrr:
 
*stay78 is the account. I got a decent Java with CTA, so Cowruns could be easily done. :)

Addendum : Dread (Lem-El-Ko-Hel) in Dacian Falx, ended up "gemmed".

Barb Helm:
Thul Eld
Thul Dol

Fal Ko

Sorry 'bout the temporary disappearance, Wathombe. I was looking for you Monday and Tuesday, but I went on vacation from Wednesday to today with my parents. Now I can get back to rune testing and whatnot.
 
Witching hour, almost...

916_Andy:

Thanks for the offer on Hratli, Andy. If I decide to try normal rushes for Qual-Kehk quest, I'll definitely need a second (we could take turns rushing and being rushed). It may or may not be more efficient just to run NM Countess, though. I'll have to test. If my Ith drops are outpacing my Ral drops by that great a margin, we'll see how quickly Ral Ort Tal rushes could be done.

As for the Europe player, I haven't seen these in-game, but the player explained to me how he obtained the results, and it makes perfect sense. I'm more satisfied with his results than I am with results on two other certain forums which shall remain nameless.

manuelm, Cheetah, AltoZone:

Thanks for testing! I've added your results to the spreadsheet and reposted. One question: Cheetah, did you test ThulEld, ThulDol, LumTal, and
FalKo twice each, or is that a typo?

Zephyrus

No worries, dude. I was just filling somebody in on the posters who were the biggest forge rush advocates and wanted to let the guy know that you might or might not be around atm. I've got my parents in town for ten days myself, so I'm not sure what kind of playing time I'm going to get in.
